Thanks for visiting my page! Here is a written tutorial with photos on how to make the HDC Thermal Stitch!

First, with any project you'll need a crochet hook and yarn. Any yarn or hook will do for learning this stitch.

For this tutorial you'll need to know how to make Chains (CH), I have a tutorial here! How to make the Half Double Crochet Stitch (HDC), tutorial here! And how to work in the Back Loops, tutorial here!

Starting from the beginning, make any number of chains

 

❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈

 

Row 1: Work 1st HDC into 2nd CH from hook

When working your STs into the CHs, make sure you have 2 loops on top of your hook (Shown in the 2nd pic)

Repeat the step above until you reach the end of your row

Row 2: Make 2 CHs

Instead of turning your work normally, turn your work vertically

*Yarn over your hook 1 time

You'll be working your STs into these 2 loops above, the loop on the right and left

Insert your hook into the loop on the right (previous top of ST)

Insert your hook into the loop on the left (previous bottom of ST)

Yarn over your hook 1 time

Take that yarn through both loops on the ST

Yarn over your hook 1 time

Take that yarn through all 3 loops on your hook

That's 1 HDC Thermal ST made

You'd repeat these steps from * until you reach the end of your row

You'd repeat row 2 for however long you want your project

Continue to row 3 for how to complete your project

Here is my swatch with some of the above rows made

In my swatch you can see how this ridge has formed from working into those 2 loops when working your STs. This next row will be how to get rid of that ridge and finish your work

Row 3: CH 2, turn your work like normal

*Yarn over your hook 1 time

Insert your hook into the next ST + into that top loop of the ride on the back of your work

This is where you would work 1 HDC like normal: Yarn over your hook 1 time

Pull that yarn through both the ridge loop and ST

Yarn over your hook 1 time

Take that yarn through all 3 loops on your hook

Repeat these steps above from * for the rest of row 3

This is what the Half Double Crochet Thermal Stitch should look like when completed!
